I smoked a padilla 1932 lancero from at least a year ago. I recently did a trade for 11 of these, and they were hella banged up. The other end of the trade explained fully, so I was expecting to have to do some work on them before i could smoke them. So I got out my bottle of El Torcedor and an old dog rocket with a similar colored wrapper. While the dog rocket was still nice and plyable i cut a bunch of small patches out of the wrapper. Then I patched all chips in the wrapper, glued the spots where the wrapper was lifting, and bam I have 11 perfectly smokeable 1932's that otherwise would have ended up in the trash. I am super stoked on these even if they do look like a bunch of wounded soldiers lined up in the infirmary.
